A life of passion and purpose

Ali Harper is the embodiment of living life to the fullest, and she’s bringing Judy Garland back to life.

Award-winning actress and singer, Ali Harper is preparing for her highly anticipated new show Judy’s Encore. Picture this: it’s 1967 and Judy Garland is back in Australia after her disastrous tour several years earlier. Can she step out on stage once more to captivate hearts and silence critics?

Ali premiered Judy’s Encore in Sydney last year and is looking forward to bringing it to The Piano on 9-10 May. “It’s always a thrill performing for a home crowd,” she says.

Off the stage, Ali creates opportunities for people to connect and recharge through her popular yoga and wellness retreats.

Set in breathtaking locations like Mackenzie Basin’s Lake Ōhau and Mangamaunu Retreat in Kaikōura, these retreats are designed to nourish and align the body and mind. This year, Ali is also leading a 10-day tour to New York. She has again been invited to sing at the prestigious New York Cabaret Convention at the Lincoln Centre, and is taking Judy’s Encore to the United Solo Festival on 42nd Street. The world’s largest solo festival, Ali was awarded Best Actress in 2014 and Best One Woman Show in 2018.

Whether she’s performing under the spotlight, guiding others on their wellness journey, or being a self-proclaimed ‘Uber driver’ to her busy teenagers, Ali Harper lives her passions fully. Consider this an inspiring reminder to follow your dreams and cultivate joy every step of the way.
